If the Beguiling attack is successful, the victim will not attack the mutant, but may attack others (GM discretion). Gummy Berry Juice (see below).Gummy Berry Juice:
This herbal concoction is made from the elusive "Gummy Berry". When a Gummy Bear consumes 1 ounce of "juice" he gains hyper strength, hyper dexterity and enhanced constitution for 20 minutes. On humans and other humanoids the effects are highly variable, but also short lived. The most common effect is Super Strength (+3 to Strength, & can exceed racial limits, also can lift twice as much weight as his Strength would normally allow) for 2 minutes, however, other effects have been known to occur (see table). Please note that these herbal concoctions are extremely rare and can only be made by the "Hive" alchemist, as a consequence price is very high for non-Gummy Bears. It has been reported that other herbal creations exist but this has not been confirmed.

Fantasy Setting notes:
Magic Resistance (+2 step bonus to resist the affects of magical FX)Drawbacks/ Racial Flaws:
Primitive (as the flaw).Desc : Gummy Bears resemble small humanoid Teddy Bears. Their clothing and equipment often mimic that of nearby human settlements. Though they will never use artifacts or similar devices.
Size: 2-3 ½’ tall
Weight: 25-75 lbs.
Cmbt : For the most part Gummy Bears are shy reclusive creatures, avoiding combat whenever they can using their Beguiling ability to escape dangerous encounters. They will use bows and short swords if necessary. Some evil natured ones do exist, however, and these are not above using violence if necessary, although they too prefer to avoid direct combat.
Hab : Temperate Forests.
Soc : A race that has for the most part gone unnoticed. Gummy Bears inhabit dense forests on the outskirts of human settlements. They maintain a keen affinity with most wilderness creatures. They are very curious about human culture but have, thus far, been too cautious to announce their presence. However, this curiosity has caused them to locate their "Hives" close to human settlements, so they can observe them in secret.
Biome : Temperate Dense Forests (typically near human settlements).
Encounter chance : Slim
Group size : 1d6, a "Hive" may have up to 50 individuals.
Org : Tribal
Niche: Top level omnivore
IQ : Sentient
Conversion by Brutorz Bill
Converted from the old Gummy Bear Cartoon. I found someone on the web, the Canadian Guy, who had converted this race to the Palladium Fantasy RPG, I figured what the hell, and adapted them to my AD&D Campaign, and have now converted them to Alternity for your gaming pleasure.
